PBJ i feel your pain...

[Sexy Smexy]

Teamstacking in general had gotten me bored of this game already. :bored::glare::thumbdown:

It's really funny how Spawn points and team balancing turned out to be worse compared to Bad Company 2. You would think that these 2 OBVIOUS lessons would have been learnt a long time ago. LoL.

Are you talking about skill stacking or clan stacking?

 

[Kirotan]

Just for clarification: You also have a positive win ratio, a good K and good SPM. Are you bored because you're always winning, or are you bored in some way because of the losses?

Personally I've found 1 good squad can change the whole game.

I always like to try to work well with my squad and can confirm that it makes quite a difference when 4 people work together.

Also in regards to clan stacking, This past game I played all of the eGO members were autobalanced to one team... I was terribly disappointed... when we lost by 200 tickets.

I feel your pain. When I can't get on an eGO server, I play elsewhere, and it does not seem to matter. I think I have the worst w / l ratio in the clan.

sigh

Indeed, especially when that good squad is in vent and can communicate with each other well. Not being interrupted by a bunch of other voices is nice too if you really want to play well with your squad.

 

[PBJ]

The problem just lies with a player's game time and skill. For example, Thundr (you've played a lot, sorry ), has a lot of kills, many guns, and has had time to improve. People like myself haven't played as much and are having a harder time unlocking things due to people like him.

Basically, if you're in eGO, can switch, and will try to positively benefit the losing team, do it. Don't scoff, in fact, losing can be more fun than winning even if properly executed.

Bane, they are both the same thing. Only difference is one is on vent the other isn't.

4.78 W/L ratio (468 wins / 98 losses) <----- This is always winning.

25% quit percentage and counting.

**Be on the winning team or quit. Hence....team stacking to win or quit.**

There are alot of people that are doing this.

You can team switch so easily in this game. If the your team has 60 players and the opposing team(which already is stacked) has 59 players...the system would allow you to hop onto that team. The same scenario in BC2 wouldn't have let you team switch even though the opposing team was a man short.(Because there was a skill/rank factor that was tied into the BC2 team balance system --- something that bf3 lacks apparently).

Walking Proof that the balance system is ________. This is not how the game should be played. This is not how any game should be played.

By the way(another stupid fact :lol, have you noticed why the average player does not play the objective/flag in a conquest match? It's not necessarily because people are bad at the game.... It's because BF3's presentation is Baddd. When the enemy is capturing the flag, you won't know what flag is being captured unless you look at the map(the average player does not look at the map). Hell you even have to zoom the map out because it's defaulted to zoom in right on top of yourself.

FYI, if I remember correctly, bottom left, it shows the flag points under who control. When they're flashing, that means they're being attacked/captured. But yeah, it's hard to know when your flag points are being attacked with all the other things going on. Be nice to have a more descriptive audio warning when that happens.

Probably because I had a quick 3 TKs in that round TOASTY. Muahahah

I found that rather humorous. I'm laying down a line of fire and everyone just keeps blazing in. I couldn't stop laughing.

The map square box icons blink and change color... but it doesn't indicate which flag is being captured... A? B? C? D? and even if it did..you'd still have to open your map to see which flag and where it is being captured.

The A B C D E icons that are shown through walls above flag locations don't blink when they're being captured. Those icons remain the same color until the flag has already been taken/captured.

 

[Snipeye]

Question: Aren't those points ordered by letter? I thought I saw the A block blinking when my teammates were attacking it. But it could of been just a coincidence...

 

[Hendu]

Yes, they go A-E from left to right on the minimap. The HUD ones just change color and/or have a timer thingie that goes around the letter when being taken.

as far as i know BC2 did not have a smart team switch that looked at rank it was all about if you had been autobalanced recently or you manually team switched then it would lock you from switching back until you rejoined. As far as it works in BF3 idk, i dont usually look at teams when playing but when i play the teams are usually fairly balanced or stacked against me skill wise not clan wise. I only play in regular conquest and rush so idk what its like in HC conquest and i never will be touching HC at all if i can help it but usually when im playing the 'clan' balance of eGO members is usually pretty even.

Idk but maybe im just darn lucky (fat chance of that) that i havent seen much clan stacking but w/e, the only thing i ever see happen is skill stacking which lasts until the map changes because autobalance will usually switch squads around

 

[frankth3frizz]

I don't notice the ACTUAL clan stacking, it usually happens when one team demolishes the other team and a lot of people leave then ton's of eGO's join so they're all in one team or

This is so much more true rather than intentionally stacking. I just play were the server puts me and squad up from there. Once thats done I play my heart out wheather I have 10 eGO memebers or 2 eGO memebers. Sometimes you just have no control over where you land and then you get tagged as "clan Stacking" I truely belive its HIGHLY OVER USED in most cases, unless its obvious like what happened to PBJ which is sad that it happened like that.
